Benson Confession Links Suspects in 1899 Montana Murder
The preliminary hearing for Clinton Dotson Ellis Persinger and Charles O Benson revealed Benson's confession naming Dotson and Persinger in the murder of Eugene Cullinane at American Gulch. He described the 1899 journey from Helena to Nevada Creek and the plan to rob Cullinane, with details of travel, weapons, and the watch found in a mattress. The three men remain held for trial in the district court as deputies search the county jail and the county attorney files formal charges of first degree murder.
